Sunday Sports Update
Top left: A new season of Buffalo Bills football gets underway this afternoon! Quarterback Josh Allen and company will look to build on the Bills' impressive 2020 season that produced the franchise's first division title in 25 years and an appearance in the AFC Championship Game. The Bills, tabbed by many pundits to make it to Super Bowl LVI, will host the defending AFC North champion Pittsburgh Steelers at Highmark Stadium. Tune in to WDOE (94.9 FM/101.5 FM/1410 AM) for all the action, with kickoff at 1:00 PM! Photo by the Buffalo Bills

The blast tied the game at 7-7, and the Yankees took the lead later in the inning on a throwing error and went on to win 8-7, snapping the team's seven-game losing streak. New York begins the day tied with the Toronto Blue Jays for the second American League wild card spot. Photo by USA Today
